Etsy Finds: The Push Present

Do you know what a push present is? It’s the hunk of rock (and I don’t mean flagstone!) that your husband is supposed to give you for having a baby. I believe it is supposed to relieve some of the guilt he feels because you just KNOW he’s just grateful it wasn’t him…

In my case, I’d actually have been thankful for some flagstone… I have a walk I need to repair in a bad way.

But no. We kicked it old school and my push present was the actual baby.

No complaints. She’s cool, but…

Wouldn’t this have been a cool push present? What do you think?

What says “Thanks for having my baby!” like a giant ring of 2 sexxxy earthworms?

Being the Earth mom and fan of mythology that I am, my husband got me a pendant in the shape of the Roman goddess Juno, who watches over mother and child during childbirth and after. Everytime I see it I’m reminded about that glorious moment, and the beauty of what we made together.
